Turkey Security Council weighs in on Armenian Genocide recognition

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey's National Security Council has condemned decisions about the Genocide of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire in 1915-1923, Ahval reports.

The moves comes on the heels of a resolution adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives recognizing the Genocide on October 29.

The vote arrived in a time of heightened tensions in U.S.-Turkey relations over a string of issues including Turkey’s Syria offensive and purchase of the Russian S-400 missile system.
